12 minutes to download an episode of a TV show is too long.
Especially when it's the season 3 finale of Walking Dead, and I'd got to within the last ten minutes of that particular episode before the audio fucked up. Gah!

After a silly and needless breakup in the past, all you had to do was stick a photo album in a drawer in order to remove all reminders from your daily life. Thanks to social media, I've had to tediously go through my sinister Facebook account and either manually delete photos or remove myself from other people's pictures we are both tagged in. And nowhere near as satisfying as ripping the pictures up and throwing them in the fire. |

We have two people in our department who were brought in effectively to create and run a major application that our entire business now uses, and which will be shortly sold to Tesco for their entire business to use as well. The project lead is going into hospital for 12 weeks, and the week before she went (today) the only developer on the project handed in his notice. It now falls to me and one other person to attempt to learn this entire project that two people have spent two years making, modding and improving. I am not in a good place in my head right now. |

Arses, sorry to hear Grim..., what a ballache. Hardly comparable, but one "First World Problem" thing that's always irritated me: people who flash you for having xenon headlights. Man, I get so pissed off with driving at night, on normal beam, having a faceful of high beam from oncoming cars... surely people know that xenon headlights are brighter, right? You can spec 'em on virtually any car these days and they're hardly unusual; I've even had the alignment etc. checked just in case there was something amiss, but they're tickety boo. Apart from anything else, it's bloody dangerous deliberately trying to dazzle an oncoming driver, especially on a narrow, unlit country lane, in the middle of the night. In other news, I spent the second half of my morning commute with a National Express coach driver giving me "The Full Audi", mere milimetres from my arse, for reasons unknown. When I filtered into another lane, he craned his neck out of his cab and gave me the finger, which was nice of him. Gah. |

Yeah, and lights dazzling drivers is little to do with brightness and everything to do with angle. That's why even dim lights on full beam dazzle - because they're not pointed at the ground. |
